““Our 7th visit to this fabulous holiday accommodation” We never tire of a holiday visit to the Peak District which is enhanced with the opportunity to stay at this fabulous accommodation.”

Ann, Michael and their son Michael have always looked after us and made sure that our stays have been enjoyable. We can’t speak too highly of the steps that have been taken, in the current Covid-19 crises, to ensure that their quests are well protected.

Mr Haddock September 2020

“It ought to be made CLEAR that although this properly is on one level, people with mobility problems may struggle.”

The shower cubicle is at 8 to 10 inches step up. It could also do with a shower mat to avoid slipping. Two steps down from the back door is also a struggle.

- Mr Haddock, September 2020
Mrs Eckerlsey September 2020

Mr Titterton September 2019

“It was a lovely cottage in a great position, our only disappointment was the shower, is not very user friendly for disabled people.”

Unfortunately it did not have a hand shower along with the main feed which made it somewhat difficult to have a comfortable shower.` This was the only problem which spoilt a lovely holiday. One additional good thing was the family who are very friendly and helpful I thoroughly recommend this villa pity about the shower.

As for the quality of the cottage and fittings we could not fault it and we found Mr and Mrs Kerry very welcoming and most helpful,even giving us a call after we got home to check that we had arrived safely. One of the best cottages that we have stayed at!

- Mr Faux, March 2018
Mr Scarborough March 2018

“The barn is a tasteful conversion from its original use, It has the most wonderful open views across the hills and the reservoir at Ogston.”

The large sitting room window makes the most of the panoramic scene, one seldom experienced in any other holiday property in our experience. The accommodation is tastefully furnished with comfortable seating and period ornaments and is a credit to Ann and Michael, the owners. On the second day of our holiday we were snowed in and Michael, the son, showed great concern for our wellbeing. As a couple who are in their 80’s this really made our holiday complete.
